Red Velvet Car

On August 31st Heart returns with an album of nine new songs and one oldie seeing the light of day once again. Red Velvet Car sees the Sisters Wilson focusing strongly on vocal chops and acoustic guitars, even though some of the best moments are when they plug in the electrics. “WTF” and “Death Valley” are two great rocking tracks that show with Heart could do if they so chose.

However, this is a celebration of the acoustic. The album starts off with one of the strongest songs in “There You Go.” Other high points are a thirteen-year-old track from the band’s Lovemonger days titled “Sand.” The title track is also very well written and will be a fan favorite.

Tour 2010

Examiner.com: Ann still has the vocal strength, accuracy, and range to give you goose bumps while Nancy’s vocals, energy, and rock star moves on the guitar remind viewers of what a rock concert should be. […] Heart’s use of video clips, images, and lighting effects enhanced an already outstanding performance. The Wilson sisters continue to be not only talented musicians, but also talented performers. This was by far nTelos Pavilion’s best performance of the summer.

Nancy Wilson

Click here to read a great interview with Nancy Wilson. What a great picture of Nancy! Just a snippet here:

EW: Well, how about which one you’re looking forward to performing on the tour this summer?
NW:Well, my favorite one to perform is one that I get to sing called “Hey You,” and people are really responding well to it, it’s getting a lot of radio airplay at [mock-serious voice] adult contemporary. You gotta feel good about that. And the one called “WTF,” which is most-added on rock radio.

The link called “Hey You” links to a YouTube vid I made :)

Red Velvet Car

Listen here to 30 sec samples of the European release of Red Velvet Car, including the two European bonustracks `Bootful of Beer´ and ´Closer to the sun´. More importantly: listen for the first time to sounds from the three Red Velvet Car songs never heard of played live before: “Queen City“, “Death Valley” and “Sunflower“! And FINALLY we can hear studio versions of “Red Velvet Car” and “Safronia´s Mark”

“Closer to the sun” will not only be on the European release, but also on the USA iTunes release.

I’ve uploaded the samples of the 2 bonus-tracks.

Red Velvet Car

Eagle Rock has put Red Velvet Car on UK iTunes for pre-ordering and yes, also in the UK people who buy the album on iTunes will receive the iTunes exclusive track “In the cool”! The tracklist is different from the USA iTunes album: instead of the `WTF´ video, the Eagle Rock version has the European bonus-track ´Bootful of Beer, which also appears on the psychical European CD.
